Conversations about Chinese hip-hop are incomplete without recognizing the contributions from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The discussion also needs to address the connections to American hip-hop, the origin of the genre. Our guest, Detroit Showtyme, a hip-hop enthusiast from Detroit who moved to Shanghai in 1999, played a significant role in nurturing authentic Chinese hip-hop culture over the last quarter century. We delve into the history and evolution of Chinese hip-hop and tackle intriguing topics, including the debated issue of cultural appropriation within the genre. Whether you're interested in China, cross-strait dynamics, hip-hop, or Detroit, you're in for a very special treat.
